Just Wondering
If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be and why? Is there any change you've made in the past that you now wish you hadn't?

Lunch Club Day
We had another great day in Brighton for our monthly lunch club. Phil and i met Graeme and my brother at the Wetherspoons pub in the city called the Post and Telegraph. We had a couple of beers there and one of them i had to try as it had my name on it.
We then walked down to Bella Italia for our lunch. I took this pic of the three reprobates. Phil, Graeme and brother.
Lesley arrived for the lunch and after two bottles of red wine. deserts and coffees we were full.
As it was World Book Day Mike purchased three books form Waterstones and i purchased one from sandpiper Books. A large tome at half price -only £3
On the way back whilst Phil was driving i intermittently fell asleep and back.

Book 13 - Paolo Sorrentino "Youth"
Paolo Sorrentino "Youth" (MacLehose Press)
Paolo Sorrentino is a novelist and film director. He has writes books, with great success in Italy and less elsewhere.I found this paperback in Waterstones in a sale bin for a pound.
Youth takes place in a spa or wellness hotel in the Alps, a resort for the wealthy, with a daily medical check-up, sauna and fitness. Main Characters are octogenarians Fred and Mick, respectively, a retired composer and film director working on his latest film. Furthermore, the microcosm consists of a Hollywood star, an obese South American ex-football player and a bizarre German couple. The characters turn a bit around each other without causing more than ripples in the pool. That's the way things are towards the end of this non-film script novelisation and hence meanders aimlessly , almost without plot, with occasional comical, and almost absurd scenes.
Whether the film is better than the book, i do not know so i will have to check out the film out which, incidentally , has top actors like Michael Cain , Rachel Weiss and Harvey Keitel.
